Update:
Google play store frist two versions 3.46 & 3.47 mostly don not come with new ,,,,
but v3.5.15 comes.
What is new :
1. The My Apps list now stands bifurcated into two lists: INSTALLED and ALL. Go to My Apps using the Menu and you’ll be presented with INSTALLED tab, swipe left go to ALL apps list and swipe right to get back to INSTALLED apps list. As you would expect, the list apps you’ve purchased (whether under sale, or normally) but don’t have installed on the device are under ALL apps list/tab.
2. App reviews by users has received a major update too. You are now able to sort reviews — by most helpful first and newest first — and can filter the reviews for the app by the latest version of the app, and by your own device, meaning only reviews made by users who the same device you are suing will show up. Pretty nice, eh! One more thing, the device used by the user when reviewing the app is shown with the review.
3. Other little updates:
* On the ALL apps tab under My Apps, you get an option to select your Google account (only if you have more than one Google account added, of course), as a drop down, meaning you don’t have to choose it by going to settings anymore.
* All accounts you’ve added on the device show up for selection once you tap on the drop down, which shows the names of the account you’re currently using.
* Installed apps which weren’t showing in the Play Store’s earlier versions (whether that be v3.4.7, or v3.4.6) now get recognized and duly shown under my Apps’ INSTALLED tab.
​
*It is supposed to be auto updated if not or you do not like to wait download here :

I write in the thread that is auto updated if you read it & you may consider that I say what is new.

Get a 940 error (cannot be found) e.g. the newer XDA app.
I tried installing from my previous installs but it cannot be found on the Market (ok, Play Shop) I'm assuming that updating with an apk that isn't officially released yet is the issue?

Just kidding. Good work fella.

I had seen a newer version on the website a couple of times, but I don't think that's always the case.
Right now the latest version on the website is 2.8.7268, while in Play Store it is 2.8.7326.

All along Whatsapp kept their server's version greater than the Play Store. I'm not sure why Whatsapp stop updating their server's version. But I believe once more bugs are fixed, they will update the server's first.

Install checker in my Note device, it shows me that there is a newer server version, but the update button is off...i cant push it....any idea?

OMG mister!!!Soorry!!I checked only the last 2 numbers(XXX26 → XXX68), but my current version is up to date! 2.8.7326...

Google Pay problem on OOS 9.0.4 Rooted and Unlocked

Google Pay doesn't seem to work on my rooted phone and with bootloader unlocked. I tried using Magisk hide on the Google Pay app and also passed the safetynet testing. What other ways are there to bypass this problem?

Hey enable core mode on magisk along with magisk hide. It has been working normally since then for me.

Had the same in Beta 13, uninstalled 18.1 and flashed 17.3.
Working fine just made a touch payment in a store, only issue is reminder before updating Magisk every so often

I was having this issue. Went away when I flashed the latest Blu spark and reinstalled magisk and ex kernel. No idea what was causing it though.

This is from jarlPenguin from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/discussion-google-pay-magisk-discussion-t3906703.
All I had to do is downgrade to 14.7.9 Google Play services and just went back into each card that was already added to Google pay and cards were activated for in store purchases properly
The new Google Play services update caused this.
Temporary workaround:
1. Disable Google Pay/Find My Device as Device Administrators in Settings > Security & location > Device Administrators.
2. Search "Google Play services" in the Settings search bar.
3. Press the three dots and press "Uninstall previous updates".
4. Download this update - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-7-99-release/
Pick your needed edition (arm or arm64, etc.), download it and install it.
5. Disable Background data access for Google Play Services and Google Play in their respective App Info pages.
6. Download Google Pay from the Play Store.
7. Set up your cards. Enjoy!
Never EVER update Google Play services manually, until a Magisk update is available that bypasses the upgraded SafetyNet. Note that Google Play services is responsible for adding/verifying the card, not the Google Pay app! Hence why there seems to be an overlay when adding a card/verifying an existing one.
Tested Google Pay versions:
2.79.x-2.83.235070858 - working
Tested Google Play services versions:
14.7.99 - working
14.8.49-15.0.10 - not working, downgrade to 14.7.99

Did the trick for me multiple times, on OB13, 9.0.4, and Pixel Experience. So definitely Play Services related !

Installed 18.2 and enabled magisk hide on Google pay, this worked for me, but wouldn't activate on 18.1

18.2 just drop? That wasn't available when I saw the temporary fix downgrading play services to version 14.7.99
I'm on the beta channel too and still says 18.1 is latest beta as well. Hmm.

Not official beta release but one i had found on github. Worked for me so using this until official/beta is updated for it.

I tried this and I stopped seeing errors about being rooted in the app, but the card reader at the store is not accepting the payment. I have only tried it at one store so far but they told me other customers used the NFC today and it was fine.
Edit: It was just a problem at the Jewel store. I used Google Pay with the same modifications at a pet store and Aldi since then and it was fine.

I don't know then. It worked perfectly for me right away. I've even updated Google pay time since then with no issues, just not updating Google play services

ColorOS13 PSA --- Update << This PSA only is relevant for UK users - OP modified

** Removed the initial message as that has been pulled by Oppo **
So i'm leaving the main updates here but the bottom line is this thread now only really applies to the UK region.
Update: 15:00 BST
People working with the tech team to establish what's wrong with os13. They don't believe that there's any risk to your phones or data.

Update 15:18 BST
I've been told that there's some incompatibility issues with the OS which could cause some apps to stop working. They believe at the moment that reinstalling the app will workaround the issue for now
They'll release an updated OS as soon as they can
Update 0926 BST (16/09/22)
Just spoken to the Oppo social rep on messenger and they've informed me that this message really only applies to UK customers.
The team have identified a few minor issues which can cause compatibility issues with some app which they wish to address. In response to this they have withdrawn the update from their side for UK region customers.
Other global customers can proceed with the update as they wish.

Yeah, I saw this about 2 hours after upgrading from the beta to the unstable stable!

Yeah not encountered anything yet all the little annoyances from the beta seem fixed.
Though I still need to do a full wipe on my phone because of going up a major version of Android from 12 to Beta and Beta to Stable

Doesn't sound too critical a problem but hang fire if you can is the advice.

Please check the OP -- updated as i learned more

Ah ok nothing major then thankfully.
I'll be Factory Resetting so it should negate this issue anyways as I always manually re-install apps a fresh rather than bring data with them

If I see any issues, I will either factory reset or just try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps that crash!

Hello, I don't know if the same thing happens to someone else, but in the official version the button to activate the automatic brightness has disappeared, in the Beta it was there and now it isn't. The curious thing is that in Android 12 it wasn't there either, it appeared when installing the beta version of android 13.

I don't have the automatic brightness button either.

I guess it's incompatibility with some UK carrier apps or configs then.

I guess this is why I downloaded the 2.6gb update and then it disappeared into the ether when it asked me to install.

Could I ask where you downloaded this from ?

Version C.37 is now available -- i used a vpn and downloaded via france using phone update system

The Photos app has been crashing since the 13 update. I've been trying to delete a couple of photos and the app crashes each time, I can't reinstall it, as it's part of the OS. This is actually a major issue for me, it's one of my most-used apps. It might have been nice to get a heads-up not to install the update. Shutting down and restarting do not help.

Only got the device yesterday and upgraded to android 13 factory reset and transferred over. Just checked and can confirm no issues deleting from default gallery here.
I know it's a pita but maybe a reset and restore given the Android upgrade.

I've just stumbled on a fix - I'd tried a forced stop of the gallery app and that did nothing, so I thought I'd try deleting the pix with Google Photos. Same issue, repeatedly crashed. So I tried a forced stop on that app and bingo - THAT worked. Phew. Photos finally deleted and the default app is working normally.
Thanks for your reply.

Question Google Maps Dark Mode theme option issue on Samsung s22 Ultra.

I have done everything I could including taking the steps to fix the fact that I never get the Theme option on Google maps on my device. Cleared cache, data, uninstalled updates, rebooted, updated to the latest versions everytime and still no Theme option. Is this just my bad luck or is this a thing going on for the S22 Ultra series?

It is not an S22 Ultra issue. I am having no problems toggling between dark and light modes. Mine is set to "same as device."
Check your "Navigation settings." About halfway(ish) down under, "Map display" you can change, "Color scheme." You should have a choice of, "Automatic, Day, Night." Automatic will change the theme according to what it senses while in navigation mode. To include switching to dark mode while in a tunnel.

I don't have the option for that is the problem i have been having.

Hi, so, in Google Maps, clicking in your user, then under "settings", you don't have the option to change the Theme? No option in that menu called "theme"?

Ok. A few more questions:
What version of Maps are you running?
What version of Google Play services are you running?
What S22 Ultra model do you have (i.e. SM-908U, SM-908U1, SM-908B, etc.)?
If not the U or U1 model, which country are you in or using it in?
The first two questions matter. I'm not sure how much the second two matter (if at all).
I am running v11.81.1502.

Update your Google Play services. The latest is 23.21.57
It may take a couple reboots.

Hmmm... Since you are on an S22 Ultra (U model), I'm assuming you are not rooted; which shouldn't make a difference. I am also assuming you are on the latest OS/Firmware that your carrier pushed (I'm on Verizon so it would be S908USQS2CWE1). I don't know what release version AT&T and T-Mobile are on.
Did you do any debloating? If so, it is possible that you accidentally de-bloated something that Maps needs. That is a wild ass guess; I may be reaching.
I don't mean to sound sarcastic. You managed to win the game of "Stump the Chump." Because I am stumped.

It's been like this since I got the device fresh out the box a year ago. Update after update of all things still no results so you and I both are stumped.

Just out of curiosity what is your Google Maps version saying when you look on the Play Store or when you go into the apps info?
This is what I'm showing:
